Description
We forged Firebrand in 2012 in a converted milking parlour on the untamed edge of Bodmin Moor, North Cornwall. The idea was born from our passion for beer made from all-natural ingredients, Cornish spring water, and American hops.
We brew beer that we love to drink and pride ourselves on our craft. Whether it’s a Hazy Vegan IPA or a Barrel Aged Imperial Stout, we regularly refine and tweak our recipes to brew the best beer we can.
Originally launched because the co-owner and head brewer of Penpont Brewery Joe Thompson wanted to brew a more modern style so Firebrand Brewing Co. was created.

Can on 30th March 2025, received as gift. Pours orangey copper with a tall, lasting yellowy white foam and partial lacing. Fruity aroma. Astringent bitterness in-mouth with transient maltiness. A long bitter finish. The prickle of pepper. Interestingly the IPA sweetens further down the glass, with tropical and citrus fruits adding to the profile. Light bodied with a zingy mouthfeel.

Bottiglia. Il gusto al naso è indirizzato verso il luppolo. L'olfatto viene stimolato in maniera elevata e l'esistenza olfattiva è apprezzabile. Il cappello di schiuma ha una buona tenuta. La grandezza delle bollicine è medio-fine, con carbonazione abbondante. Il liquido è di aspetto nebbioso. Bollicine fini costituiscono la forma del perlage, con carbonazione persistente. Il colore è ambrato. Il corpo è pieno. L'amaro è deciso . La forza gustativa è elevata e la durata è buona. Le sensazioni boccali finali risultano luppolate. Il finale è amaro. Il retrogusto è intenso. Al gusto vengono donati toni di miele, crosta di pane, luppolo, resina, pino, agrumi, frutta secca, pompelmo, spezie, lampone e mango.
